Superior Tone and Playability
The SE Hollowbody II delivers warm, airy tones with modern precision:
- Body: Mahogany back and sides with a maple top and figured maple veneer for resonant warmth, enhanced sustain, and crisp highs. The double-cutaway hollowbody design with a single f-hole reduces feedback while maintaining acoustic richness, weighing approximately 6–7 lbs for all-night comfort.
- Pickups: Dual PRS 58/15 LT “S” humbuckers (neck and bridge) offer vintage-inspired warmth with clear mids and tight lows. A push/pull tone knob enables coil-splitting for single-coil sparkle, making it versatile for jazz cleans, bluesy crunch, or rock overdrive.
- Neck: Bolt-on maple with a Wide Fat profile and satin finish for smooth, comfortable playability. The rosewood fingerboard has a 10″ radius, 22 frets, and PRS bird inlays for effortless bends and solos.
- Bridge: PRS adjustable stoptail bridge with brass saddles for enhanced sustain and precise intonation, ideal for dynamic playing styles.
- Controls: Master volume, push/pull tone (coil-split), and 3-way toggle switch for intuitive tone shaping, offering a wide range of voicings.
